In this episode of the podcast I'm joined by Early Church expert, author, and popular speaker Mike Aquilina to talk about Mary's role in the Early Church and in the history of Christianity.

From what the Old Testament says about Mary, to her role in the New Testament, to how she was understood by the very Early Christians and how her role helped to shape our Christology – and more!

For more from Mike visit his website Fathers of the Church and find his books wherever fine books are sold including History's Queen.
